If anyone is looking for the DX7 Rhodes sound only, check out http://fmtines.com/.  Yeah it may sound cheesy to some but it IS a classic sound!

Do your sounds work with a real DX7? If yes I would love them - I really don't use my DX7 as much as I should so it would help greatly if they work
Cheers

I would think so.  FM7 and FM8 can read native DX banks.  The contents of my folders for these include mostly syx and bnk, and some of the TX banks may have some different formats.  But I would think any of the sysx files would work.
 
Shoot me a PM with an email address and I will send you a folder for testing, and if that works for you then I could send you the rest.

I have download and installed DEXED and yes it is a fine synth. But nothing like FM7/8 though. It still has a very singular oscillator sound to it and it won't give you massive wide fat analog sounding textures. There are many sounds for it and I hope everyone realises you can click on that CART symbol down lower left and open up a huge number of banks of sounds. Very cool.
 
FM7/8 can do massive unison layers per key and detune and widen them the same way I could do all that on the TX816 rack in the past. Now that is a serious fat sounding DX machine. All modules on one sound but detune and pan them all though, it can sound incredible that way. I can get a very similar sound with FM7 as well. It replicates a single DX7 patch perfectly but it can take on the sound of the rack too which is pretty cool.
 
DEXED sounds good running into something cool like ERS 'Dimension D' plugin. You can get some rich, wide, liquid sounding patches then.

Jeff your reply makes me regret not having pocked up FM8 during NI's sale before the holidays! Until next year, I guess I'll have to stick with Dexed! 😊

Hi Daniel and others.  I have an update.  Despite FM7/8 being good I am very pleased to report that after spending some time playing with DEXED I really like it a lot.
 
It has an excellent sound overall and I could even go as far as to say it sounds slightly different to FM7. perhaps a slightly warmer sounding version of DX 7 patches.  It's sounds are good but when I started opening my existing DX 7 library I could really hear how nice it sounds.
 
I was able to pull some serious fat analog patches with DEXED by first starting with a great fat analog patch from the DX 7 library.  Later programming got into some nice detuned sounds and beating etc.. Then insert two instances of DEXED.  Put the analog patch on both but edit one of them slightly.  I followed each one with an instance of Dimension D creating a nice wide gentle chorus effect.  (each Dimension D being set slightly different)  It sounds killer.  It seems to be light on CPU so multiple instances don't seem to be an issue.  Process each one with FX slightly differently in a multiple instance for an even more lush effect.
 
I like how it opens and plays my existing DX7 library a lot.  The built in layering concept in FM7/8 is good as are the delay lines too for added dimension etc.  But very satisfying results can be pulled easily from DEXED for sure.  Especially if you get creative with effects after the fact.  This is an excellent DX7 emulation VST.

Bob, can you send me your syx dx7 patches? I am unable to PM you. I am a new member. If you are unable to obtain my email address, is it possible to send it to you another way? Thanks in advance. :-)

I am happy to send you the whole lot of them (close to 20,000, I think), BUT it is a big unwise thing to do to post one's phone or email on any public forum, such as this.
 
The key to your being able to send and receive Private Messages (and to post links in thread posts), is to get your posting count up above certain levels.
 
Just go through maybe the Coffee House and find some threads with banter you might want to join in on, and put out about 25 posts or so in various threads, and somewhere along in there is the threshold for when the forum software will start to allow you to send and receive private messages.  Out of respect for the folks and for their threads, please do post meaningful content to threads you find - there are some pretty long running and often funny threads there, as well as serious discussion and such - check it out.
 
So, once you DO get to where you CAN, please then shoot me a private message with your contact information, and I will send you a series of emails with attached zipped folders to get the whole set of them to you.  Instructions for what to do with them and where to put them will be included in the emails, as I regularly send folks these libraries.
 
SO - happy to help you, sorry I don't recall what that threshold IS, but I believe it is certainly less than 50 - so I would try after maybe 25 posts, or even 15-20, and if that doesn't work, get yourself up to 50, which I would believe would certainly be a high enough post count.

You can use Dropbox for this: https://www.dropbox.com/
 
Put subfolder in your public folder, put the DX files there, copy the address then put that address here.  After he DLs it delete the subfolder.  I use this technique when exchanging large files with other musicians.

This is a nice "newish" DX7 clone some might not have heard about:

Thanks for this.  I didn't expect much for a free synth, but I really like it.  Haven't done much more than play with the presets, but can see myself putting it to good use.
 

Bob is da man!

I must say, this is an excellent collection. It should keep me busy for decades to come! Thanks Bob!
